Amazon is giving you a chance to save up for that big Blu-ray purchase.

The good folks at Amazon.com sent out an e-mail blast this morning to remind customers about their DVD trade-in program. They had us at "Star Wars." The program allows users to trade in their old DVDs for store credit to go towards upcoming box sets on Blu-ray, for instance one involving a saga in a galaxy far, far away.

The complete six-movie saga will be available in one boxed set of nine Blu-ray discs, plus the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy will be available as three-disc sets, giving customers a variety to choose from. And Amazon always has just about the best prices you can find on the Internet for most new releases.

After you're done reading about the trade-in program's logistics, you can take a stroll over to the store's Star Wars selection of trade-in prices by clicking here. This will bring up a list of Star Wars releases that you can trade-in for some store credit. The prices range from favorable to unfavorable, but combined with the amount you will save by shopping at Amazon rather than a retailer, it may seem more to your liking.

The box sets look to be on track for a September 27, 2011 release date. We know where the Force will be that day: with us, on our HDTV. Stay tuned to IGN DVD for more information about this and other upcoming releases!
